N1-Ata meeting of the Citizens Association
of the Belt held last week, resolution was adop-
ted expressing confidence in the value and ef-
fciency of the county police force and taking issue
with the report of the late Grand Jury, which
somewhat reflected upon the police. We stated
at the time of publishing this resolution that there
were good many people in the Belt who did not
agree with the Citizens Association in its en-
dorsement of the efficiency of the force, and now
comes the Belt Democratic Club of the same Sec
tion-and the strongest organization of the kind
in the county-and openly dissents from the resol-
ution passed by that Association, showing that
dissatisfaction with the force does exist and that
the Grand Jury was not wrong when it censured
it for ineficiency, &c. The club which does not
agree with the Citizens Association on this point
claims membership of two hundred and eighty
five registered Democratic voters.

@rThe Baltimore American of Tuesday con-
tanned about column on Baltimore county poll
tics. written doubtless by some one who has made
a more or less careful study of the field, and who
gets very near to the truth in good many par
ticulars, while he is far from it in others. He
tells some men just where they stand in the con-
test, and this is doubtless more than they knew
themselves before reading the article.

A Melancholy Fact.
C,,<1om Ha.o1I

Considering the fact that thousands Of able. bod
led paupers wander through the States Of Maryland
and Delaware every year, living directly or in
directly on the industry and enterprise of the
farmers it seems absurd that the latter should be
forced to 60 long distances to engage foreign
doing nothing and helping no one. For the next
three months there will be work on nearly every
farm between the bays for all the idlers now
crowding the saloons and country stores, and it
is a thing to be regretted that there is no law
which can be utilized to set these vagabonds to
work,

Mg- The closing Of the saloons in Atchison,
Kansas, has cut off most profitable source Of
revenue, amounting to thousands of dollars q
year, and, as result the city has not the neces-
sary funds to keep running. On the LIST instant
the police force, with the exception of the mar
shall and one officer, were suspended from duty,
and the mayor has notified the firemen that their
services will be dispensed with. The gas and
electric lights have been shut off and now the city
is in darkness. Taxes will have to be largely in
creased to meet these expenses.

to Mr.. SIingluff, who gave bond for $40 900. The

Ms-The tax rate in Cecil county for the GU

@-The tax rate in Cecil county for the cur
rent year has been fixed at so cents on the 500,
which, with 1Sa cents for State taxes, makes the
total 9s3 cents on every 500 worth of assessable
property. The levy for county roads was fixed
at $14, 900, just half what it was last year. The
system of road mending in Cecil is said to work
with much satisfaction, the leading feature being
the making of permanent improvements and not
simply by throwing dirt into the roads to be wash
ed away by the first heavy rain. If other coun-
ties would adopt this plan of making lasting i'm
provements on the public roads it would in the
end effect an immense saving to the taxpayers.

Ma-The friends of Hon. Charles B. Roberts
have been claiming all along that Allegany
county's choice for Governor was Hon. Chas. b.
Roberts, but the primary meetings have developed
the fact that Col L. Victor Baughman is her first
choice, with Postmaster Brown strong second.
The claim that Mr.. Roberts would get ffty-three
votes on the first ballot in the State convention
seems highly improbable.
